    PiCorePlayer seems to be just a player - i.e. you need to run an LMS (server) somewhere. btw. You can use Volumio (and Moode) to do the same thing - it's just an add-on.

    Not so!, LMS can be installed as previous post, on the SSD card. In fact it works better like that!

    Thanks. I'm making progress so, rather than continue off-topic, I'll start a new thread 'Picoreplayer+LMS on RPi'.

    Well, that is somewhere isn't it. Forgive me, I didn't realise PiCorePlayer integrated the LMS install as well. I see on the web site that it is a "work in progress".

    It's as much a work in progress as anything ever done with Squeezebox - that is work never stops because things are being refined, and on occasion completely rewritten because service providers change their delivery protocols.
    It happens to be a very slick and stable bit of programming.

    Yep. I just downloaded PiCorePlayer and set up LMS on it as well, on my test RPi rig. Great to have choices

I'm a regular Moode user and have no trouble installing that, but I do struggle to understand how Picoreplayer works. I haven't been able to find a shot of what the player UI looks like or even see how to access it.
    Hi John,

    Yes, exactly like that. You need to install "extra file systems" - there is a button on the LMS tab in PCP and it takes 30 secs or so. You can also install Samba (you need to enable beta version settings) so you can access the drive across your network. The SSD is silent, draws far less power than a hard drive and you are also not pulling music across a network from a NAS. I use the Squeeze Control app on Android to control the PCP.
    Cheers

    Hi,
    Can you say a bit more about your set up?
    Which SSD you are using?
    How many albums will it hold?
    File types - FLAC, WAV, IFF etc
    Do you experience any drop outs on playback?
    Also does the SSD need it’s own psu as I think the pi is unable to power it from its usb. I have a pi2B
    What DAC are you using?
    I have built a Vortexbox which uses LMS but I think the pi with SSD negates a lot of the issues with a network.
    Sorry for so many questions
    Thanks
    Lee

    I use a small 1TB hard drive with my Pi2B. I find the cost of an SSD still hard to justify when the normal hard drive works well, holds heaps of music, is powered from the Pi and never causes dropouts - and is so cheap.
